Teemu Selanne’s farewell to the NHL takes him back to Winnipeg tonight, where the Finnish Flash got his start 21 years ago.

Selanne’s Anaheim Ducks face off against the Winnipeg Jets tonight at the MTS Centre, but it might be hard for some ‘Peggers to know who to cheer for. The winger scored 76 goals as a rookie with the Jets in 1992-93 and continued to have a stellar career over his four years with the Winnipeg team, remaining one of the most beloved players in the city’s history.

The 43-year-old took Saturday off as the Ducks eked out a win against the Minnesota Wild 4-3 in overtime, meaning he will be rested enough to give the Winnipeg crowd a good show. It will be one to remember.
